Populating the z-value with a surface

The z-values for features can be populated using a raster file to interpolate the appropriate values. The Populate Z for selected features tool allows you to specify the raster file from which you want to interpret the z-values.

メモメモ:

3D Analyst must be installed to populate z-values using a surface.
